The general procedure for parametric modeling is to create a 2D sketch profile using variables, apply constraints, use the profile to create a 3D element and then modify it by applying variable-driven features to get the desired design. When a component is completed, it can be placed as a Parametric Cell. This captures the design logic, and provides for reuse of a parametrically-driven component. Parametric tools give you a degree of flexibility which is not possible with conventional 3D tools. This allows complex parametric to be edited easily without needing to be manually rebuilt. #Modeling #Engineering #Drafting #Design #Parametric #CivilEngineering #MechanicalEngineering #Learning #Education #MicroStation

Fast and very useful.

Integrating complex equipment items into 3D design models is a long and time-consuming process at the start of every project. Our R&D engineers have responded to this challenge by developing a specialized toolkit for Rhino that simplifies the geometry of equipment models provided by suppliers and streamlines the subsequent integration of this equipment into other CAD systems such as CADMATIC. Depending on the complexity and quantity of solids and surfaces in the model — the toolkit reduces the time required to import and create views by up to six times and reduces the model file size by half, significantly improving software performance and speeding up project delivery.     Are you facing similar challenges and are you wondering how to solve them? We can help you streamline the import of complex 3D CAD models of equipment elements so that you can work on your projects more efficiently, conveniently, and effectively. #CJobNikolayev #CJOB #cjobnavalarchitects #navalarchitecture #DetailedDesign #ShipDesign #Rhino #Cadmatic #CAD #CADmodels #3DDesign #3DModels

3D Scanning and Reverse Engineering another batch of specialist 35mm camera film manufacturing equipment. The customer has no CAD or drawings for their production like equipment. BMS were commissioned to reverse engineer into 3D CAD and 2D working drawings ready for remanufacture. How it works; the 3D scan produces cloud point data, we then mesh the cloud point data to produce an stl file, we then convert the stl file into a clean parametric 3D CAD model (usually design intent, meaning near round is round). For every CAD model we produce we also issue, a scan to CAD quality report; showing % deviation; a colour chart provides an easy to read visual representation providing confidence in our process. In this case we have also provided 2D working drawings ready for manufacture. #digitisation #reverseengineering #3dscanning #laserscanning #designengineer #manchester #knutsford #architecture #3dsurvey #survey #scantocad #cad #3darchives #northwest #ukmanufacturing #machining #tolerancing #deviation #cadservicies #engineeringdesignservices #cncmachining #turing #milling #engineeringservicies

The benefit of using 3D modeling in scaffolding... One major advantage is the ability to create realistic representations of scaffolding setups. This proves incredibly valuable, as it allows clients, engineers, and site managers to accurately visualise the final setup. Understanding spatial relationships and safety measures becomes much clearer, enhancing both the planning and execution phases. 3D modeling is truly revolutionising how scaffolding projects are approached. 🙌 #3d #software #scaffolding

Here are some *Benefits of using 3D modeling* for Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB) structures: 1. *Improved accuracy*: 3D modeling reduces errors and inaccuracies in design, ensuring precise calculations and simulations. 2. *Enhanced visualization*: 3D models provide a clear, detailed representation of the structure, facilitating better understanding and communication among architects, engineers, and clients. 3. *Streamlined design process*: 3D modeling automates repetitive tasks, allowing designers to focus on creative and complex aspects of the project. 4. *Material optimization*: 3D modeling helps optimize material usage, reducing waste and costs. 5. *Structural analysis and simulation*: 3D models enable advanced structural analysis and simulation, ensuring the building can withstand various loads and conditions. 6. *Clash detection and resolution*: 3D modeling identifies potential clashes between structural elements, allowing for early resolution and avoiding costly on-site modifications. By leveraging these benefits, 3D modeling can significantly enhance the design, construction, and operation of PEB structures.

Every project has to start somewhere. Our CAD Technicians are one of the first people we bring in to help create a 3D model of the finished product before it’s even started on the production floor. Hear from one of our CAD Technicians, Claire Cazedessus, about this process and how we bring projects to life.   #ASCva #drafting #manufacturing #process #CAD

Despite the visual intricacy of 3D models, they often fall short in providing the exhaustive information required for the construction or production of a design. To obtain all the essential details, a workshop drawing becomes indispensable. It is at this juncture that detailed dimensions can be incorporated, allowing for the inclusion of information that may not be effectively conveyed in three-dimensional space. #mechanicalengineering #3dmodeling #3dvisualization #designengineer #designcommunity #plantdesign #solidworksdesign #solidworks #drawing #engineeringeducation
